  • Preheat broiler.
  • Combine pork, stock, half of the onions, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in medium saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce to a simmer.
  • Cook until pork registers 140° on an instant read thermometer. (Approximately 10-15 minutes). The meat will be slightly pink in the middle but very tender.
  • Transfer the meat to a cutting board.
  • Shred the meat into 2 inch peices with two forks. (Discard water from saucepan).
  • Put meat on a baking sheet, add the rest of the chopped onions.
  • Melt the butter, mix the butter with olive oil and pour over the meat and onions.

  • Stir in corn and cheese.
  • Add 1/4 cup water at a time, stirring after each addition until mixture holds together. (Usually takes approximately 1 cup total.)
  • Heat 1/4 c oil in fry pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  • Meanwhile, shape 1/3 cup of mixture with your hands to form a patty that is approximately 1/3 inch think.
  • Repeat with remaining mixture, making 8 patties.
  • Working in batches of 4, fry patties, turning once, until golden brown. This takes approximately 2-4 minutes per side.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel to drain.
  • If pan becomes dry, add more oil as you go.
  • Cover patties with foil to keep them warm until ready to serve.

"This is an amazing recipe; the flavours are unique and delicious and it's so easy to make! I cooked the pork in a crock pot and it's delicious. I'm using the left over liquid for soup stock."
